Spook-tacular & Awareness Designs

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but did you also know that it's Domestic Violence Awareness Month as well? So while you're out saving the "hooters," please also try to help those affected by Domestic Violence. It's never too late to show your support with Pink & Purple! Be sure to check out our awareness designs for both causes below. 

This week's new set will also work with the blank treat bag included with the ITH 5x7 Prim Halloween Treat Bags Set for even more fun possibilities! Details below! It's not too late to get started on Spook-tacular Projects!

The $5.97 Sale continues on all regular design sets! Save up to 69%!

Have a wonderful, creative weekend and as always...
Happy Stitching!

Awareness & Support
Domestic Violence Awareness
While some of the designs in this set are specifically for Domestic Violence Awareness, this 25 piece set does include designs that by changing the colors, are suitable for other causes.
The FSL ribbons in this set could be stitched out and given to those in shelters as a way to offer hope. The filled designs would be great for creating quilts, wall hanging and t-shirts for fund raising events. 25 designs total. 

There's a sample for everyone to download when they visit.
Pink Ribbon Gals

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and who better to remind us to check those hooters than Stella?
Stella has gathered some of her best gal pals to bring awareness and support to all! This set includes both 5x7 and 4x4 designs. The text files are separate so you can use Stella and her friends either with or without their saying, or mix and match them for even more fun possibilities.

Don't forget to download the sample when you visit.
It's not too late to get started on Spook-tacular Projects! Try these:
ITH Prim Halloween Treat Bags- 5x7
If you want a tasty sweet, be sure to holler Trick or Treat! This In-the-Hoop set was so much fun to make. Set includes 4 treat bag designs & one blank bag panel to add your own design for the 5x7 hoop. 

Single designs for the 4x4 & 5x7 hoops are also included. To give the bags a more "finished" look, the option to add a lining has been included. Stitch on cut-away stabilizer or stiffy felt too!

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

We all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are lots of embroidery designs for this cause, but did you also know that it's Domestic Violence Awareness Month too? According to the National Network to End Domestic Violence & Domestic Violence Statistics, a woman in the US is assaulted or beaten every 15 seconds; around the world, at least one in every three women has been abused during her lifetime and it is the leading cause of injury to women. 

So why have I created Domestic Violence Awareness designs? The answer is simple. Someone I care about is in an abusive relationship. While I can't make her leave the current situation, I can let her know that I'm here, that she's not alone, that I'm willing to help and offer resources and that because her life matters, I'm not going to be silent about it. 

While some of the designs in this set are specifically for Domestic Violence Awareness, this 25 piece set does include designs that by changing the colors, are suitable for other causes. Just like cancer, domestic violence knows no boundaries and this is just my way of bringing awareness and saying that flowers do not make it better...

The FSL ribbons in this set could be stitched out and given to those in shelters as a way to offer hope. The filled designs would be great for creating quilts, wall hanging and t-shirts for fund raising events. Perfect for those who work in the social work field such as mediators and counselors and even for DV survivors who want to speak out! Don't forget medical personnel too!
25 designs total.
